Our students provide fresh thinking for complex business problems
We partner our students with leading corporate, community and government organisations to create innovative solutions to complex issues.
Our students bring fresh insights to your organisation and gain invaluable practical experience.
Partnering on a student project gives you the opportunity to collaborate and connect with a group of talented students and tackle an issue that is relevant to your organisation. What makes these projects unique is that they are interdisciplinary. They are available to all senior undergraduate students from all disciplines. The variation of disciplines and schools of thought within the student projects leads to creative and new ways to tackle your complex problems.
We have partnered groups of interdisciplinary students with more than 70 leading organisations in Australia and internationally, including China, Hong Kong, Italy, India and the United Kingdom. Our partner organisations include Adobe, AGL, Coles, EY, IBM, KPMG, NSW Health, Westpac and many more.
Students have worked on a range of complex problems exploring topics such as the war on waste, future possibilities for the global space industry, the impact of artificial intelligence and creating a renewable energy future.
These projects provide an exceptional platform to bring an industry lens to help support an enriching learning experience by providing the opportunity for students to work on real world industry problems. Working in cross-disciplinary teams students are able to gain insight into the various drivers and multiple stakeholder perspectives required in developing a set of robust, viable and compelling recommendations.

No cost
There is no cost to your organisation. Your investment is centred on time – estimated commitment of 10-15 hours during the program.
As a project partner, you will play a vital role in giving our students a head start as they navigate their way into the future workforce.
Firstly, partners will provide a brief to the students about an authentic business or industry problem faced by their organisation. The students will gather research; conduct detailed analysis and present recommended solutions to you as a group at the end of the project.
You will have the opportunity to engage with students and provide feedback on their progress throughout the project before they present their fresh insights and final solutions.
You will have anywhere from 45 to 60 students in your project, from a variety of disciplines across Science, Engineering, Law, Business, Arts, Architecture, Health and Science. Students will then work in smaller groups of five to come up with solutions and recommendations to your business or industry problem.
Projects are run in either a semester-long format – for 13 weeks – or an intensive mode during February and July over four weeks.
Please contact us if you're interested in collaborating with students on authentic projects for your organisation.
All the students worked together with such integrity and presented seamlessly. I’m absolutely confident that each one of these students will use what they have learnt in this project when they enter the world of work.
